HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIA!

12/29/14

It's 8:30 at night, we just finished the dinner, cupcake and birthday song round. She's currently playing with her new princess dolls and lucking out with a late bedtime.

Earlier this evening, we surprised her with a trip to the movies to see Annie. She deemed it "not a bad idea" and I called it a win. Cozying up with my loves in a dark movie theatre watching one of the cutest movies I have seen lately wasn't a bad way to celebrate our girl turning 5 on this gray, rainy day. I pretty much let Lia do whatever she wanted this morning including watching too much TV and dragging all her toys onto a big pile of pillows and blankets on the living room floor.

The birthday girl requested macaroni and cheese with deviled eggs for her big birthday dinner. The girl knows what she wants! We cooked up a quick dinner after the movie and stuck a few candles into store-bought cupcakes and called tonight a festive celebration. Her party comes on Saturday but today is the day that holds my heart.

Happy Birthday, babycakes. You continue to amaze me every day. I'm so thankful I was chosen for you and you were chosen for me. You are forever my little sidekick!
